What You Will Learn
For years, the automotive industry has been buzzing about hydrogen fuel cell technology as an alternative to gasoline. However, automobile manufacturers have yet to make it a reality for consumers. The material handling industry, on the other hand, is leading the way to successfully implementing hydrogen fuel cell technology in electric lift trucks. This new technology is quickly becoming a viable alternative to lead acid batteries.
New research is helping to evaluate the benefits and challenges of replacing batteries with hydrogen fuel cell technology in lift trucks. As new research results become available, the material handling industry will be able to refine its understanding of this technology's potential. In the meantime, warehouse and distribution center managers who want a competitive edge should start learning about hydrogen fuel cells now to evaluate the potential benefits for their operations.
Key Takeaways
